I use this in my coffee

You had me believing there was no difference in sweeteners with your OP. Now you post a rebuttal to that and it is also persuasive!
I think it tastes better.
By the way, the line...
“The researchers were careful to note that, as always, correlation doesn’t imply causation.”
...is false. Correlation does imply causation. It does not prove causation. You cannot deduce causation from correlation. But it is evidence that something may exists. Correlation requires more study. Girl getting belly fat implies pregnant. But pregnancy is not the only reason to get belly fat.
Then I noticed that I was starting to eat less. Where I used to have a couple of PB&J's for lunch, one was fine. And so on. The only change was no HFCS.
Then I started to pay attention when *I* needed to do the grocery shopping. HFCS is in everything!! Soda? Of course, no surprise there. Peanut Butter and Jelly? Sure, makes sense. But bread? Ketchup? Pickles and Relish? I started wondering if there's something to all this.
There are other HFCS-free choices, but you need to look.
Meanwhile, I've lost a bunch of weight and I feel better in general. More energy. Was it because of a general change of habits for the better? Or cutting out HFCS? Probably both, but cutting out the HFCS sure makes sense to me.
I think yeast needs sugar to ferment otherwise you'd get matza pizza.
I noticed that whenever a pizza is super fantastically tasty, there is sugar in the sauce. There is also one brand of spaghetti sauce which uses a lot of sugar.
In moderation, sugar isn’t a problem. Coke was sold in 5 oz bottles in the 1950s. A McDonald’s hamburger was originally 1.6 ounces BEFORE COOKING. I’m losing weight on my current diet, but also still putting a level teaspoon of sugar in my 12 oz mugs of coffee. 4 grams of sugar.
An 8 oz glass of milk has 11 grams of sugar. Big whoop! It has a lot of other good things, too!
Packaged food tends to have a ton of sugar added. Avoid those like the plague! Eat foods you cook. Eat in moderation. Feel free to be hungry sometimes. If you can recognize it as one-step food: milk, corn, etc - don’t sweat it. Humans have been eating it for as long as there have been humans. Without getting fat.

I'd imagine that the chains add quite a bit more than that. Sugar, salt, fat all taste good.
I make rum syrup and soak my pound cake. Life is good!!
WHY ARTIFICIAL SWEETENER IS WORSE FOR YOU THAN SUGAR

I don’t believe that is actually so. Unlike regular sucrose or fructose, HFCS IIRC is broken down in the liver, and once the liver is at capacity for that it gets directly converted to fat.
I don’t necessarily agree with it.
But, unlike ABCNNBCBSNYTWAPO, I will post both sides of a story not just ‘MY’ side.............
We use local raw honey. Even though it’s “all natutal” our Drs warned us to use it IN MODERATION because sugar is sugar.
Don’t give any to a toddler, possible allergens, until 4 or 5 years old..............
Yes, I used to love getting served a 4-ounce juice glass of full-sugar soda by little old ladies up through the ‘80s. I think that generation and their 4-oz juice glasses pretty much died out after that.
Yes, if you eat whole foods rather than processed, pretty soon most commercial and processed foods start to taste awfully sweet and salty!
side bar for you sugared drink fans. In many places in San Diego County you can get pepsi and coke bottled in mexico with sugar and no corn syrup.
because corn is so heavily subsidized, the farming industry needs to dump it into as any products as possible.....
Yes, here in Florida, Big Lots Stores sells Mexican Sodas.............
*** Yes, absolutely it is worse than sugar, which is bad enough itself.
If you occasionally want a Coke, get un Coca-Cola real, hecho en Mejico com sugar real. Available at El Mercado or the dollar store. ***
I only drink sodas made with pure cane sugar. When I used to drink the ones with HFCS, my legs would hurt.
